For the Lord is good; His mercy endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100 : 5
I planted three rooting mint stalks
Simply growing in water since the last week in
October 2023.
I took down the Christmas decorations
Carefully, thoughtfully
One at a time.
Let me remind you it is wet and grey
We all got wet but we saw the new trees in the meadow.
So what? What about all that?
So here are my thoughts.
Mint grows roots from stalks
Babies come from wombs.
It was 3 January 2024 yesterday
On 3 January 1924, my dear mother-in- law Dorothy was born
She writes: "Not an easy birth my mother was kept in bed for a month afterwards as she was told she had a weak heart.
The private nurse put me out in my pram in the snow,
which gave me a cold
at a few days old.
My Dad was 29 and my mother 30."
This coming of an 8 1/2 lb baby remained the only child.
Yes, it was 2024 3 January
But we remember that you would have been 100 and are genetically part of your grandchildren and great grandchildren.
How wonderful is that!
No stalk and root but flesh and blood.
Our personal mirical.
3 January 2024.
I will add this to my memories. A day to remember Dorothy.
Take care .
Sandy 🙂
Beautiful post ✍️
Lovely tribute.
Thank you. I appreciate both these comments. I wrote from the heart and wondered if it was too unusual to publish. Roy always says “lovely you go ahead!”
A thoughtful post, I enjoyed reading the tribute very much. I also enjoyed the scripture.
Thank you, Morag . I hope you have a good weekend and that you have some rest after the move.
Dorothy was a lovely lady. I remember her beautiful blue eyes clearly when we went to visit her in hospital 💕
Thank you for sharing that memory. She wrote a lot about her life, and it is good to read it now.
